Center for Research and Islamic intelligence: Redefining the psychological warfare
Allah says in the Noble Koran:
Koran; 4:75:"And what reason have you that you should not fight in the way of Allah and of the weak among the men and the women and the children, (of) those who say: Our Lord! cause us to go forth from this town, whose people are oppressors, and give us from Thee a guardian and give us from Thee a helper."

Allah says in the Noble Koran:
Koran; 2:216: "You have been enjoined to go to war, and you dislike it; it may be that you dislike a thing and the same is good for you, and you love a thing and the same is bad for you: Allah knows but you do not."
Koran; 2.194: "whoever then acts aggressively against you, inflict injury on him according to the injury he has inflicted on you and be careful (of your duty) to Allah and know that Allah is with those who guard (against evil)."
Koran; 16:126: "And if you punish, then punish them with the like of that with which you were afflicted."
Allah says in the Noble Koran:
Koran 33.23: "Of the believers are men who are true to the covenant which they made with Allah: so of them is he who accomplished his vow, and of them is he who yet waits, and they have not changed in the least."

Allah the Almighty says:
Koran; 5:51: "O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people."
Koran; 8:60: "And prepare against them what force you can and horses tied at the frontier, to terrorize thereby the enemy of Allah and your enemy and others besides them, whom you do not know (but) Allah knows them; and whatever thing you will spend in Allah's way, it will be paid back to you fully and you shall not be dealt with unjustly."

As-Salaamu 'alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuh my brothers and sisters in Islam. I am actually a converted Muslim and a blogger who classifies articles that I found on various sites and that I find interesting concerning Iraq, Palestine, Afghanistan, Chechnya, Somalia, the Philippines, the Caucasus, Thailand, Kashmir and other locations. A memory aid that makes my life easier and at the same time I share this to those who have the same interests as me. I am also a freelance journalist (unpaid since the salary comes from Allah), an investigative journalist on child porn networks in cases such as the Zandvoort files, the Koala Case, the Pinon Case, the CORAL case, the case of a juvenile court judge exposed with an 11 year old autistic boy, the CRIES network, the Case 'Spartacus' and the X Witnesses in Belgium, but also a researcher and analyst on modern state terrorism (the secret NATO operation 'Gladio', the danger of vaccines, CHEMTRIALS in the air, the danger of the new bulbs, aspartame, false flag attacks, a specialist in intelligence and strategic communications. The right for free information, freedom of expression, religion and freedom of literary criticism and the diversity of opinions are a fundamental freedom and a basic right for every human being.There's 2 sides to every coin...so bought sides have the right to express their views concerning the wars. Since a couple of years, we have been confronted with amazing victories of Moudjahideen against the NWO armies and their apostates.This does not correspond with the traditional media who claim to inform us.
At least Censored31 is clear on the subject and this for freedom of speech and press.
For the first time the audience discovers the true face of the war. Images and video contradicts all official versions.This is not Islamic propaganda. This is NOT a call for JIHAD. It is to question why these unjust wars are happening. But secret services around the world want to curtail the free speech on this website.I am against racism, I am against violence,I am against violence, ethnic, racial or religious hatred, intolerance, anti-Semitism and terrorism. I repeat, I am not glorifying TERRORISM. This is not a radical Islamist Web site for the purpose of recruitment and incitement.

Au nom d'Allah, le Tout Miséricordieux, le Très Miséricordieux. As-Salâmou 'alaykoum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhmes frères et soeurs en Islam. Je suis en fait un musulman converti et un blogueur qui classe les articles que j'ai trouvés sur différents sites et que je trouve intéressante concernant l'état Islamique de l'Irak, la Palestine, l'Emirat Islamique de l'Afghanistan, l'Emirat Islamique du Caucase, la Somalie, les Philippines, la Thaïlande, le Cachemire et d'autres endroits. Un aide-mémoire qui me rend la vie plus facile en cas de recherches d'informations et en même temps, je partage ceci à ceux qui ont les mêmes intérêts que moi. Je suis aussi un journaliste indépendant (non rémunéré puisque le salaire vient d'Allah), un journaliste d'investigation sur les réseaux de porno enfantine dans des affaires de pédocriminalité comme notamment l'affaire Zandvoort, l'affaire Koala, l'affaire Pinon, l'affaire CORAL, l'affaire du juge de la jeunesse haut placé, l'affaire CRIES, l'affaire Spartacus et l'affaire des témoins X, mais également chercheur et analyste concernant le terrorisme d'État moderne (l'affaire GLADIO, le danger des vaccins, les CHEMTRIALS, le danger des ampoules économiques, l'aspartame, les attaques terroristes sous faux drapeaux, etc ..) chercheur en études sur l'Islam, un spécialiste du renseignement et de la communication stratégique. Le droit à l'information libre, la liberté d'expression, la liberté de la religion et la liberté de la critique littéraire et la diversité des opinions est un droit fondamental qui est et un droit fondamental pour chaque être humain, même pour un(e) Musulman(e).
Il y a toujours 2 côtés à une médaille ... donc chaque partie bénéficie du droit d'exprimer son point de vue durant une guerre, non?
Depuis quelques années, nous avons été confrontés à des victoires étonnantes des Moudjahideen contre les armées du nouvel ordre mondial et leurs apostats. Ceci ne correspond pas avec la version des médias traditionnels qui prétendent nous informer. Au moins Censored31 est claire sur le sujet et ce, pour la liberté d'expression et la presse. Pour la première fois le public découvre le vrai visage de la guerre à travers des vidéos qui ont été publié et héberger par des sites web américains et canadiens. Les images et vidéos contredisent toutes versions officielles. Ceci n'est pas de la propagande Islamique. Ceci n'est pas un appel au JIHAD. Il s'agit de se demander pourquoi il y a des guerres injustes sur terre ? Et Censored31 apporte les réponses essentielles. Ce n'est donc pas l'apologie pour le terrorisme, un mot qui fait d'ailleurs tout avaler sans broncher, un mot qui fait tout voter, même le massacre de millions d'enfants, hommes et femmes libre. Ce blog n'est donc pas un appel à la violence. Je suis contre le racisme, l'antisémitisme, la haine ethnique, raciale ou religieuse, l'intolérance, la violence et le terrorisme. Je répète que je ne glorifie en aucun cas le TERRORISME. Ce n'est pas un Blog Islamiste radical à des fins de recrutement et d'incitation.

The politician and biggest ennemy of Islam in Europe i.e. Geert Wilders has said that the Prophet Mohammed (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was a pedophile and that the Noble Qur'an, should be compared with the book 'Mein Kampf' and many other declarations of war against Islam.
Geert Wilders of the Netherlands must get the meaning of the word 'pedophile'. The meaning of the word pedophile means in psychiatry, the sexual attraction of adults to persons pre-puberty.
From a biological point of view, the child means a human being before the age of reproduction, ie before it can in turn have children.
Or the wife of Prophet Mohammed (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), which was named Aisha (ra) had already menstruation before having relations.
The meaning of the word menstruation is the most visible manifestation of the menstrual cycle of women. It is the disintegration of the functional layer of the endometrium in the absence of pregnancy, carried by blood loss more or less abundant, removed through the vagina. It is proper to the human species and some species of higher primates, with the exception of New World primates.
So if Geert Wilders claims that Aicha (ra) was only 11 years. It is scientifically proven that a young girl who lived 1,400 years ago cannot be compared to a girl now, isn't it? I guess Aicha (ra) can be compared to a 16 year old girl. Because she had a biological transformation because the body continually changes following the attacks from free radicals in both food and water supplies and air in particular (CHEMTRIALS) but also mandatory vaccinations cause brain and body damages since many decades.
There is no comparison to the biological level because the body is transformed with time. The human being and his body will learn to respond to such violence by integrating these data ... with the violent impact that we know as the plague or other epidemics. Following the classifications of muscles of the human body and the transformation of bodies, the human body undergoes a transformation in time and becomes weaker. Studies show that the human body was altered in a meaningful way only during the last 30 years.
Thirdly I'd like to add that it was Aisha (ra) who insisted to marry the Prophet Mohammed (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and this was absolutely normal at that time thus compare the Prophet Mohammed (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) to Marc Dutroux or Fourniret who abducted, handcuffed and then tortured girls and then raped them together with politicians, bankers, industrials and a member of the Belgian royal family and left them to die of hunger, are extremely reluctant, which deeply saddened me but in every evil there is good. At least I will plead for the Ummah invocations during the Subh prayer at the mosque.
So Geert Wilders must stop his blaspheme. He speaks without Ilm (knowledge) because he loves to tell his audience that Muslims are terrorists referring to 9/11 but many scientists with for example Niels Harrit proved that it was nano thermite explosives which brought down the twin towers just like the Eiffel Tower in the latest GI Joe movie.
9/11 was an inside job, just like the London attacks. Why??? To invade Afghanistan and try to create a huge pipelineistan linking the east and the west...and their ultimate goal is to make China and India slaves of the New Nazi world order (Bilderberg & Vatican).
And Allah knows best.

Boycotts as a legitimate means of Resistance as determined by the oppressed People
by Kim Petersen
August 29, 2009
Prejudice does not always come with an ugly face. The same holds for Zionism and racism. It is entirely possible for well-intentioned people to hold a prejudice and, even worse, act on held prejudices.
Uri Avnery opposes the brutality inflicted on Palestinians. He campaigns for peace with Palestinians. But he also has a Zionist past. He is European born and fought for the terrorist Irgun in perpetration of a holocaust (Nakba) against Palestinans. He later renounced Irgun’s tactics. He is antiwar, but he is not anti-the fruits of war. He approves of a two state solution. In other words, Israeli Jews will keep the fruits of their dispossessing others — this while continuing to press for the return of what they were dispossessed.(1)
Avnery advocates selective use of tactics against Zionism. This is apparent when it comes to an international boycott of Israel. Avnery states that no one is better qualified than South African archbishop Desmond Tutu to answer this question.(2)
What does Tutu say? He has called on the international community to treat Israel as it treated apartheid South Africa. Tutu supports the divestment campaign against Israel.(3)
Avnery’s fellow Israeli, Neve Gordon, agrees that it is time for a boycott.(4) Avnery laments, "I am sorry that I cannot agree with him this time – neither about the similarity with South Africa nor about the efficacy of a boycott of Israel."
Indeed, the apartheids — while in many respects similar — are also different. Gary Zaztman pointed to a key difference:
For all its serious and undoubted evils and the numerous crimes against humanity committed in its name, including physical slaughters, South African white-racist apartheid was not premised on committing genocide. Zionism, on the other hand, has been committed to dissolving the social, cultural, political and economic integrity of the Palestinian people, i.e., genocide, from the outset, at least as early as Theodor Herzl’s injunction in his diaries that the "transfer" of the Palestinian "penniless population" elsewhere be conducted "discreetly and circumspectly."(5)
Boycotts as a Tactic against Racism
Avnery says Tutu told him: "The boycott was immensely important, much more than the armed struggle."
But it was the revolutionary, Nelson Mandela, who refused to give up the right to armed struggle, who negotiated the dismantling of South African apartheid.(6)
Tutu also told Avnery, "The importance of the boycott was not only economic but also moral."
Avnery writes, "It seems to me that Tutu’s answer emphasizes the huge difference between the South African reality at the time and ours today."
So what is Avnery saying? First he states that Tutu is best qualified person to speak to the effectiveness of boycotting as a tool in the fight against racism, then he says Tutu has it wrong. So is Avnery saying, then, that he is best qualified to speak on the effectiveness of boycotts against racism?
Avnery fears that Israeli Jews will feel "the whole world is against us."
However, isn’t that, in a sense, what the purpose is: to show that the whole world is against Jewish racism against Palestinians? It must be emphasized that the world is not against Jews, as Israeli propaganda would choose to portray it. Although he doesn’t specifically state it, Avnery is using a version of the anti-Semitism smear: if you are against anything Israel does, then you are against Israelis. Hence, you are anti-Semitic. This grotesque perversion of morality and logic holds that to be against racism toward Palestinians makes one anti-Semitic.
Avnery admits, "In South Africa, the world-wide boycott helped in strengthening the majority and steeling [sic] it for the struggle. The impact of a boycott on Israel would be the exact opposite: it would push the large majority into the arms of the extreme right and create a fortress mentality against the 'anti-Semitic world’. (The boycott would, of course, have a different impact on the Palestinians, but that is not the aim of those who advocate it.)"
Avnery merely states what is the current status quo. Israel is already hunkered down in an extreme right fortress mentality. The boycott is not the cause. Avnery fixates on the population dynamics. What is the relevance of majority and minority in Avnery’s reasoning? It would seem that Palestinians being in the minority – and the fact that the Palestinians support the boycott – to be even greater reason for international support of the boycott. Who and what is Avnery supporting: Palestinians from racism or Israeli Jews from the economic effects and moral stigma of an international boycott?
As for the aim of the boycott campaign: "to deny Israel the financial means to continue to kill Palestinians and occupy the lands."(7)
Avnery raises "the Holocaust" arguing that Jewish suffering has imprinted itself deeply on the Jewish soul. That the Nazis rounded up Jews in concentration was a moral outrage. But what is the lesson of World War II? That suffering imposed on any identifiable group of people is evil and wrong, or that one group can appropriate a holocaust, make it their own, and use past suffering as a shield to inflict a holocaust on another people? Avnery argues that boycotting Jews will remind them of Nazism, but when Jews use Nazi-type techniques what should they be reminded of?
Avnery says it is okay to boycott of the product of the "settlements." He draws a distinction between "settlers" (i.e., "colonisers") and other Israeli Jews. How then does Avnery rationalize the fact that the "settlers" are in the West Bank?
Avnery asserts, "Those who call for a boycott act out of despair. And that is the root of the matter." Indeed, despair is life for many Palestinians under occupation or in refugee camps.
Avnery states that an international boycott would be difficult to achieve, and the US would not be behind it. It was not easy to achieve against the apartheid regimes in South Africa either. Is that a reason not to try? Did not the US oppose a boycott of South Africa? Yes, it might take a long time. But times do change. The US (and its western allies’s) recalcitrance was steam rolled in Venezuela, Cuba, Bolivia, and elsewhere. Empires have risen and fallen throughout history.
Avnery finds that the tactic of boycotting is "an example of a faulty diagnosis leading to faulty treatment. To be precise: the mistaken assumption that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict resembles the South African experience leads to a mistaken choice of strategy."
Avnery continues, "In South Africa there was total agreement between the two sides about the unity of the country. The struggle was about the regime. Both Whites and Blacks considered themselves South Africans and were determined to keep the country intact. The Whites did not want partition, and indeed could not want it, because their economy was based on the labor of the Blacks."
Seems there is some faulty analysis going on. "Whites did not want partition"? How can Avnery state something so factually inaccurate? What were Venda, Lebowa, the Bantustans, if not sections of South Africa partitioned off by the White government? Furthermore, that Zionism is now no longer dependent on Palestinian labor does not mask that it at one time was dependent on such labor; Avnery is cherry picking in his argument. Denying Palestinians the right to work in historical Palestine is a tactic that evolved from Zionism.
Also, how is it that Avnery can argue against an international boycott of Israel when Israel maintains a crushing illegal embargo against Palestinians – a war crime? As long as Israel uses such a tactic, then resistance through boycott, certainly, is legitimate.
Avnery says Israeli Jews and Palestinian Arabs have nothing in common. However, this same lack of commonality was true between White and Black South Africans as well. Nonetheless, I take exception with the thrust of such argumentation. It prepares the ground for racism. Israeli Jews, Palestinians, Black and White South Africans are all humans. They all eat, work, sleep, have dreams, have families. This should be reason enough to act humanely toward each other: love of humanity. It is entirely possible to embrace our shared humanity and respect diversity.
Avnery concludes, "In short: the two conflicts are fundamentally different. Therefore, the methods of struggle, too, must necessarily be different."
This is logically flawed reasoning, much like the logical and moral flaw that being a victim of a genocide minimizes one’s own culpability in a subsequent genocide. One suspects that Avnery may well be the victim of a pained conscience and cognitive dissonance. I submit that the two "conflicts"(8) are fundamentally similar. Fundamentally, colonial Israel and colonial South Africa share these hallmarks: a racially, culturally, spiritually, linguistically different group of outsiders through preponderant violence dispossessed Indigenous peoples of their homeland, and set up an apartheid system which humiliates the Indigenous peoples and privileges the occupiers.
Avnery focuses on certain "fundamentals" — which I submit are not fundamentals but nuances — that he considers different.
Avnery’s solution lies with "a comprehensive and detailed peace plan" from US president Barack Obama and "the full persuasive power of the United States" to lead to "a path of peace with Palestine."
Avnery remembers well previous US-backed peace plans, like Oslo and the Roadmap. Why, then, does he cast his audacious hope on AIPAC appeaser Obama? Avnery hopes that Israeli Jews will realize that peace with Palestinians is the way? The peace activist touts a solution that has failed and been rejected many times. He rejects a solution that worked in South African because of the sensibilities of the oppressors.
But let us examine Avnery’s logic that fundamentally different "conflicts" demand different struggles.
Oppression is overthrown by struggle. Fundamentally different "conflicts" can succeed through similar struggles. As one example, revolutionaries overthrew an American-backed dictatorship in Cuba through armed struggle and Cuban revoluntionaries defeated South African forces in Angola through armed struggle.(9)
In his article’s finale, seemingly assured of his own argumentation over the person he deems the best qualified authority on boycotts as a tool to overcome apartheid, Avnery points to a prayer of Tutu’s – a prayer that would serve all of us well:
"Dear God, when I am wrong, please make me willing to see my mistake. And when I am right – please make me tolerable to live with."
Hopefully, Avnery abides by such humbleness when he sees the error of his ways, as well.
See Bill Keller, Tree Shaker: The Story of Nelson Mandela (Boston: Kingfisher, 2008). Mandela wanted to pursue a peaceful, non-violent settlement, but when faced with the violence of state power he felt compelled to use violence as a method of struggle. Mandela did emphasize that this violence was not terrorism: 98.
The word "conflict" minimizes the atrocities wreaked on Palestinians and South Africans by their oppressors.
Isaac Saney contends that the Battle of Cuito Cuanavale was the "turning point in the struggle against apartheid. "Isaac Saney, "The Story of How Cuba Helped to Free Africa," Morning Star, 4 November 2005. Available at Embajada de Cuba en Egipto.

Paul J. Balles
August 29, 2009
Paul J. Balles looks at how Israel and its worldwide lobbyists, aided by a complicit Western media and abetted by politicians afraid of being destroyed by the lobbyists, is getting away with blue murder while an indifferent public turns the other way.
In one of Aesop's fables, a man and a lion travelled together through the forest. They soon began to boast of their respective superiority to each other in strength and prowess.
As they were disputing, they passed a statue carved in stone, which represented "a lion strangled by a man."
The traveller pointed to it and said: "See there! How strong we are, and how we prevail over even the king of beasts."
The lion replied, "This statue was made by one of you men. If we Lions knew how to erect statues, you would see the man placed under the paw of the lion."
That’s the fable. Now for the film.
The American Jewish Committee has released a hard-hitting 5-minute film dealing with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict entitled "No: the real obstacle to peace."
The film asserts that the main hurdle to peace in the region is not settlements or land or borders, but rather the idea that Jews have "no right to a state in a territory where they have lived throughout history".
If the Palestinians were one-tenth as good at distorting reality, creating propaganda and controlling the media as the Zionists are, they wouldn't have to say "No" to every so-called offer of peace made by the Israelis.
The Israelis, like the man boasting about the statue of the lion he strangled, have developed abhorrent abilities to strangle the Palestinians. The fraud comes with the ability to distort the truth.
Richard Falk, the UN special rapporteur for human rights in the occupied Palestinian territory, offers a near-perfect portrayal of the man (beast) strangling the lion:
They impose a siege – turn Gaza into a ghetto – steal Palestinian lands – steal water resources – burn olive trees and other crops – create an apartheid wall on stolen land – imprison 12,000 people for 20 years without trial – indiscriminate use of US-provided F16s – kill thousands of civilians, mostly women and children – commit assassinations at will – starve an entire nation and complain that the oppressed Palestinians fire misguided missiles in revenge. Remember Jenin – with a 1000 casualties and a whole town torn to bits? No one probably does or cares.
Chris Hedges does an outstanding job of posing questions to the kind of monster who strangles the tame lion.
Can anyone who is following the Israeli air attacks on Gaza – the buildings blown to rubble, the children killed on their way to school, the long rows of mutilated corpses, the wailing mothers and wives, the crowds of terrified Palestinians not knowing where to flee, the hospitals so overburdened and out of supplies they cannot treat the wounded, and our studied, callous indifference to this widespread human suffering – wonder why we are hated?
What have the Israelis used to strangle the lion? None of the events, as reported above, has ever seen the light of day in the mainstream media. US coverage has been watered-down apologetics for Israel. Yet, 1.5 million people remain locked in the Gaza outdoor prison camp.
How has America reacted? They send congressmen to Israel. What does the delegation of 25 US Republican Party lawmakers do? They assure Israeli President Shimon Peres of strong congressional backing for the Jewish state. Democrats will follow and do the same.
In a letter to Jeff Blankfort, James Abourezk, former US Senator from South Dakota, wrote, "... in the Congress, the support Israel has in that body is based completely on political fear – fear of defeat by anyone who does not do what Israel wants done."
Some day the truth will catch up with them all – the Congress, the media and the public.
1920 Revolution Brigades of Unified Committee of Authorization Factions, and a member of Jihad and Change Front in its statement claimed responsibility for shelling U.S. occupation headquarters in northern Iraq with mortars under the campaign of Bright Lightening that was just initiated.
The fighters of the group also shelled American occupation headquarters in al Ghazlani in Nineveh Province with two missiles that directly hit the enemy.
The death toll of al Shirqat district bomb explosion that targeted the headquarters of the state police rose to 7 people dead including a senior officer and wounded 40 others in first outcome of this day.
A government source said "The bomb was packed with a thousand kilograms of explosives in the vehicle in the form of improvised explosive devices which led to a big explosion."
The source added that "the car explosion resulted in damage to the headquarters, 12 civilian vehicles and four wheels of a police and a number of houses near the scene."
It is worth to remember that a car bomb driven by a person went off targeting headquarters of government Sectarian police in al Sharqat of Saladin Province resulting in the killing and wounding more than 40 people, mostly apostate police elements.
This does not correspond with the traditional media who claim to inform us.
At least Censored31 is clear on the subject and this under freedom of speech and press.
For the first time the audience discovers the true face of the war in the land of the two rivers and its consequences. Once again Internet contradicted the versions of traditional media who lied and manipulated people. This is not Islamic propaganda. It is to question why these unjust wars are happening. This video contradicts all official versions. This video is uncensored.
Why did they censored this on the news?
This video shows operations from Islamic Resistance armies fighting against the US/British NWO puppets. This video shows:

Last week Sweden’s largest daily newspaper published an article containing shocking material: testimony and circumstantial evidence indicating that Israelis may have been harvesting internal organs from Palestinian prisoners without consent for many years.
Worse yet, some of the information reported in the article suggests that in some instances Palestinians may have been captured with this macabre purpose in mind.
In the article, “Our sons plundered for their organs,” veteran journalist Donald Bostrom writes that Palestinians “harbor strong suspicions against Israel for seizing young men and having them serve as the country’s organ reserve – a very serious accusation, with enough question marks to motivate the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to start an investigation about possible war crimes.”1/
An army of Israeli officials and apologists immediately went into high gear, calling both Bostrom and the newspaper’s editors “anti-Semitic.” The Israeli foreign minister was reportedly “aghast” and termed it “a demonizing piece of blood libel.” An Israeli official called it “hate porn.”
Commentary magazine wrote that the story was “merely the tip of the iceberg in terms of European funded and promoted anti-Israel hate.” Numerous people likened the article to the medieval “blood libel,” (widely refuted stories that Jews killed people to use their blood in religious rituals). Even some pro-Palestinian writers joined in the criticism, expressing skepticism.
The fact is, however, that substantiated evidence of public and private organ trafficking and theft, and allegations of worse, have been widely reported for many years. Given such context, the Swedish charges become far more plausible than might otherwise be the case and suggest that an investigation could well turn up significant information.
Below are a few examples of previous reports on this topic.
Israel’s first heart transplant
Israel’s very first, historic heart transplant used a heart removed from a living patient without consent or consulting his family.
In December 1968 a man named Avraham Sadegat (the New York Times seems to give his name as A Savgat) (2) died two days after a stroke, even though his family had been told he was “doing well.”
After initially refusing to release his body, the Israeli hospital where he was being treated finally turned the man’s body over to his family. They discovered that his upper body was wrapped in bandages; an odd situation, they felt, for someone who had suffered a stroke.
When they removed the bandages, they discovered that the chest cavity was stuffed with bandages, and the heart was missing.
During this time, the headline-making Israeli heart transplant had occurred. After their initial shock, the man’s wife and brother began to put the two events together and demanded answers.
The hospital at first denied that Sadegat’s heart had been used in the headline-making transplant, but the family raised a media storm and eventually applied to three cabinet ministers. Finally, weeks later and after the family had signed a document promising not to sue, the hospital admitted that Sadagat’s heart had been used.
The hospital explained that it had abided by Israeli law, which allowed organs to be harvested without the family's consent. (3) (The United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime includes the extraction of organs in its definition of human exploitation.)
Indications that the removal of Sadagat’s heart was the actual cause of death went unaddressed.
Director of forensic medicine on missing organs
A 1990 article in the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs entitled “Autopsies and Executions” by Mary Barrett reports on the grotesque killings of young Palestinians. It includes an interview with Dr. Hatem Abu Ghazalch, the former chief health official for the West Bank under Jordanian administration and director of forensic medicine and autopsies.
Barrett asks him about “the widespread anxiety over organ thefts which has gripped Gaza and the West Bank since the intifada began in December of 1987.”
He responded:
"There are indications that for one reason or another, organs, especially eyes and kidneys, were removed from the bodies during the first year or year and a half. There were just too many reports by credible people for there to be nothing happening. If someone is shot in the head and comes home in a plastic bag without internal organs, what will people assume?” (4)
Mysterious Scottish death
In 1998 a Scot named Alisdair Sinclair died under questionable circumstances while in Israeli custody at Ben Gurion airport.
His family was informed of the death and, according to a report in J Weekly, “…told they had three weeks to come up with about $4,900 to fly Sinclair's corpse home. [Alisdair’s brother] says the Israelis seemed to be pushing a different option: burying Sinclair in a Christian cemetery in Israel, at a cost of about $1,300.”
The family scraped up the money, brought the body home, and had an autopsy performed at the University of Glasgow. It turned out that Alisdair’s heart and a tiny throat bone were missing. At this point the British Embassy filed a complaint with Israel.
The J report states:
“A heart said to be Sinclair's was subsequently repatriated to Britain, free of charge. James wanted the [Israeli] Forensic Institute to pay for a DNA test to confirm that this heart was indeed their brother's, but the Institute's director, Professor Jehuda Hiss refused, citing the prohibitive cost, estimated by some sources at $1,500.”
Despite repeated requests from the British Embassy for the Israeli pathologist's and police reports, Israeli officials refused to release either. (5,6,7)
Israeli government officials raise questions
Palestinian journalist Khalid Amayreh reports in an article in CCUN:
“In January, 2002, an Israeli cabinet minister tacitly admitted that organs taken from the bodies of Palestinian victims might have been used for transplants in Jewish patients without the knowledge of the Palestinian victims’ families.
“The minister, Nessim Dahan, said in response to a question by an Arab Knesset member that he couldn’t deny or confirm that organs of Palestinian youths and children killed by the Israeli army were taken out for transplants or scientific research.
“‘I couldn’t say for sure that something like that didn’t happen.’”
Amayreh writes that the Knesset member who posed the question said that he “had received ‘credible evidence proving that Israeli doctors at the forensic institute of Abu Kabir extracted such vital organs as the heart, kidneys, and liver from the bodies of Palestinian youth and children killed by the Israeli army in Gaza and the West Bank.” (8)
Israel’s chief pathologist removed from post for stealing body parts For a number of years there were allegations that Israel’s leading pathologist was stealing body parts. In 2001 the Israeli national news service reported:
“… the parents of soldier Ze’ev Buzgallo who was killed in a Golan Heights military training accident, are filing a petition with the High Court of Justice calling for the immediate suspension of Dr. Yehuda Hiss and that criminal charges be filed against him. Hiss serves as the director of the Abu Kabir Forensic Institute….According to the parents, the body of their son was used for medical experimentation without their consent, experiments authorized by Hiss. (9)
In 2002 the service reported:
“The revelation of illegally stored body parts in the Abu Kabir Forensic Institute has prompted MK Anat Maor, chairman of the Knesset Science Committee, to demand the immediate suspension of the director, Prof. Yehuda Hiss."
Alisdair Sinclair’s death had first alerted authorities to Hiss’s malfeasance in 1998, though nothing was done for years. The Forward reported:
“In 2001, an Israeli Health Ministry investigation found that Hiss had been involved for years in taking body parts, such as legs, ovaries and testicles, without family permission during autopsies, and selling them to medical schools for use in research and training. He was appointed chief pathologist in 1988. Hiss was never charged with any crime, but in 2004 he was forced to step down from running the state morgue, following years of complaints.” (10)
Harvesting kidneys from impoverished communities
According to the Economist, a kidney racket flourished in South Africa between 2001 and 2003. “Donors were recruited in Brazil, Israel and Romania with offers of $5,000-20,000 to visit Durban and forfeit a kidney. The 109 recipients, mainly Israelis, each paid up to $120,000 for a “transplant holiday”; they pretended they were relatives of the donors and that no cash changed hands.” (11)
In 2004 a legislative commission in Brazil reported, “At least 30 Brazilians have sold their kidneys to an international human organ trafficking ring for transplants performed in South Africa, with Israel providing most of the funding.”
According to an IPS report: “The recipients were mostly Israelis, who receive health insurance reimbursements of 70,000 to 80,000 dollars for life-saving medical procedures performed abroad.”
IPS reports:
The Brazilians were recruited in Brazil’s most impoverished neighbourhoods and were paid $10,000 per kidney, “but as ‘supply’ increased, the payments fell as low as 3,000 dollars.” The trafficking had been organized by a retired Israeli police officer, who said “he did not think he was committing a crime, given that the transaction is considered legal by his country's government.”
The Israeli embassy issued a statement denying any participation by the Israeli government in the illegal trade of human organs but said it did recognize that its citizens, in emergency cases, could undergo organ transplants in other countries, "in a legal manner, complying with international norms," and with the financial support of their medical insurance.
However, IPS reports that the commission chair termed the Israeli stance “at the very least ‘anti-ethical’, adding that trafficking can only take place on a major scale if there is a major source of financing, such as the Israeli health system.” He went on to state that the resources provided by the Israeli health system "were a determining factor" that allowed the network to function. (12)
Tel Aviv hospital head promotes organ trafficking
IPS goes on to report:
“Nancy Scheper-Hughes, who heads the Organs Watch project at the U.S. University of California, Berkeley, testified to the Pernambuco legislative commission that international trafficking of human organs began some 12 years ago, promoted by Zacki Shapira, former director of a hospital in Tel Aviv.
“Shapira performed more than 300 kidney transplants, sometimes accompanying his patients to other countries, such as Turkey. The recipients are very wealthy or have very good health insurance, and the ‘donors’ are very poor people from Eastern Europe, Philippines and other developing countries, said Scheper-Hughes, who specialises in medical anthropology.”
Israel prosecutes organ traffickers
In 2007 Israel’s Ha’aretz newspaper reported that two men confessed to persuading “Arabs from the Galilee and central Israel who were developmentally challenged or mentally ill to agree to have a kidney removed for payment.” They then would refuse to pay them.
The paper reported that the two were part of a criminal ring that included an Israeli surgeon. According to the indictment, the surgeon sold the kidneys he harvested for between $125,000 and $135,000. (13)
Earlier that year another Israeli newspaper, the Jerusalem Post, reported that ten members of an Israeli organ smuggling ring targeting Ukrainians had been arrested. (14)
In still another 2007 story, the Jerusalem Post reported that “Professor Zaki Shapira, one of Israel's leading transplant surgeons, was arrested in Turkey on Thursday on suspicion of involvement in an organ trafficking ring. According to the report, the transplants were arranged in Turkey and took place at private hospitals in Istanbul.”
Israeli organ trafficking comes to the U.S.?
In July of this year even US media reported on the arrest of Levy Izhak Rosenbaum, from Brooklyn, recently arrested by federal officials in a massive corruption sweep in New Jersey that netted mayors, government officials and a number of prominent rabbis.
Bostrom opens his article with this incident.
According to the federal complaint, Rosenbaum, who has close ties to Israel, said that he had been involved in the illegal sale of kidneys for 10 years. A US Attorney explained: "His business was to entice vulnerable people to give up a kidney for $10,000 which he would turn around and sell for $160,000." (15)
This is reportedly the first case of international organ trafficking in the U.S.
University of California anthropologist and organ trade expert Nancy Scheper-Hughes, who informed the FBI about Rosenbaum seven years ago, says she heard reports that he had held donors at gunpoint to ensure they followed through on agreements to “donate” their organs. (16)
Israel’s organ donor problems
Israel has an extraordinarily small number of willing organ donors. According to the Israeli news service Ynet, “the percentage of organs donated among Jews is the lowest of all the ethnic groups… In western countries, some 30 per cent of the population have organ donor cards. In Israel, in contrast, four percent of the population holds such cards. (17)
“According to statistics from the Health Ministry’s website, in 2001, 88 Israelis died waiting for a transplant because of a lack of donor organs. In the same year, 180 Israelis were brain dead, and their organs could have been used for transplant, but only 80 of their relatives agreed to donate their organs.”
According to Ynet, the low incidence of donors is related to “religious reasons.” In 2006 there was an uproar when an Israeli hospital known for its compliance with Jewish law performed a transplant operation using an Israeli donor. The week before, “a similar incident occurred, but since the patient was not Jewish it passed silently.” (18, 19)
The Swedish article reports that ‘Israel has repeatedly been under fire for its unethical ways of dealing with organs and transplants. France was among the countries that ceased organ collaboration with Israel in the 1990s. Jerusalem Post wrote that “the rest of the European countries are expected to follow France’s example shortly.”
“Half of the kidneys transplanted to Israelis since the beginning of the 2000s have been bought illegally from Turkey, Eastern Europe or Latin America. Israeli health authorities have full knowledge of this business but do nothing to stop it. At a conference in 2003 it was shown that Israel is the only western country with a medical profession that doesn’t condemn the illegal organ trade. The country takes no legal measures against doctors participating in the illegal business – on the contrary, chief medical officers of Israel’s big hospitals are involved in most of the illegal transplants, according to Dagens Nyheter (December 5, 2003).”
To fill this need former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, then health minister of Israel, organized a big donor campaign in the summer of 1992, but while the number of donors skyrocketed, need still greatly surpassed supply.
Palestinian disappearances increase
Bostrom, who earlier wrote of all this in his 2001 book Inshallah, (20) reports in his recent article:
“While the campaign was running, young Palestinian men started to disappear from villages in the West Bank and Gaza. After five days Israeli soldiers would bring them back dead, with their bodies ripped open.
“Talk of the bodies terrified the population of the occupied territories. There were rumors of a dramatic increase of young men disappearing, with ensuing nightly funerals of autopsied bodies.”
“I was in the area at the time, working on a book. On several occasions I was approached by UN staff concerned about the developments. The persons contacting me said that organ theft definitely occurred but that they were prevented from doing anything about it. On an assignment from a broadcasting network I then travelled around interviewing a great number of Palestinian families in the West Bank and Gaza – meeting parents who told of how their sons had been deprived of organs before being killed.”
He describes the case of 19-year-old Bilal Achmed Ghanan, shot by Israeli forces invading his village.
“The first shot hit him in the chest. According to villagers who witnessed the incident he was subsequently shot with one bullet in each leg. Two soldiers then ran down from the carpentry workshop and shot Bilal once in the stomach. Finally, they grabbed him by his feet and dragged him up the twenty stone steps of the workshop stair… Israeli soldiers loading the badly wounded Bilal in a jeep and driving him to the outskirts of the village, where a military helicopter waited. The boy was flown to a destination unknown to his family.”
Five days later he was returned, “dead and wrapped up in green hospital fabric.” Bostrom reports that as the body was lowered into the grave, his chest was exposed and onlookers could see that he was stitched up from his stomach to his head. Bostrom writes that this was not the first time people had seen such a thing.
“The families in the West Bank and in Gaza felt that they knew exactly what had happened: “Our sons are used as involuntary organ donors,” relatives of Khaled from Nablus told me, as did the mother of Raed from Jenin and the uncles of Machmod and Nafes from Gaza, who had all disappeared for a number of days only to return at night, dead and autopsied.”
Why autopsies? Bostrom describes the questions that families asked:
“Why are they keeping the bodies for up to five days before they let us bury them? What happened to the bodies during that time? Why are they performing autopsy, against our will, when the cause of death is obvious? Why are the bodies returned at night? Why is it done with a military escort? Why is the area closed off during the funeral? Why is the electricity interrupted?”
Israel’s answer was that all Palestinians who were killed were routinely autopsied. However, Bostrom points out that of the133 Palestinians who were killed that year, only 69 were autopsied.
He goes on to write:
“We know that Israel has a great need for organs, that there is a vast and illegal trade of organs which has been running for many years now, that the authorities are aware of it and that doctors in managing positions at the big hospitals participate, as well as civil servants at various levels. We also know that young Palestinian men disappeared, that they were brought back after five days, at night, under tremendous secrecy, stitched back together after having been cut from abdomen to chin.”
It’s time to bring clarity to this macabre business, to shed light on what is going on and what has taken place in the territories occupied by Israel since the Intifada began.” (21)
The new “Blood Libel”?
In scanning through the reaction to Bostrom’s report, one is struck by the multitude of charges that his article is a new version of the old anti-Semitic “blood libel.” Given that fact, it is interesting to examine a 2007 book by Israel’s preeminent expert on medieval Jewish history, and what happened to him.
The author is Bar-Ilan professor (and rabbi) Ariel Toaff, son of the former chief rabbi of Rome, a religious leader so famous that an Israeli journalist writes that Toaff’s father “is to Italian Jewry as the Eiffel Tower is to Paris.” Ariel Toaff, himself, is considered “one of the greatest scholars in his field.” (22, 23)
In February 2007 the Israeli and Italian media were abuzz (though most of the U.S. media somehow missed it) with news that Professor Toaff had written a book entitled "Pasque di Sangue" (“Blood Passovers”) (24) containing evidence that there “was a factual basis for some of the medieval blood libels against the Jews.”
Based on 35 years of research, Toaff had concluded that there were at least a few, possibly many, real incidents.
In an interview with an Italian newspaper (the book was published in Italy), Toaff says:
“My research shows that in the Middle Ages, a group of fundamentalist Jews did not respect the biblical prohibition and used blood for healing. It is just one group of Jews, who belonged to the communities that suffered the severest persecution during the Crusades. From this trauma came a passion for revenge that in some cases led to responses, among them ritual murder of Christian children.” (25)
(Incidentally, an earlier book containing similar findings was published some years ago, also by an Israeli professor, Israel Shahak, of whom Noam Chomsky once wrote, “Shahak is an outstanding scholar, with remarkable insight and depth of knowledge. His work is informed and penetrating, a contribution of great value.” ) (26)
Professor Toaff was immediately attacked from all sides, including pressure orchestrated by Anti-Defamation League chairman Abe Foxman, but Toaff stood by his 35 years of research, announcing:
"I will not give up my devotion to the truth and academic freedom even if the world crucifies me… One shouldn't be afraid to tell the truth."
Before long, however, under relentless public and private pressure, Toaff had recanted, withdrawn his book, and promised to give all profits that had already accrued (the book had been flying off Italian bookshelves) to Foxman’s Anti-Defamation League. A year later he published a “revised version.”
Donald Bostrom’s experience seems to be a repeat of what Professor Toaff endured: calumny, vituperation, and defamation. Bostrom has received death threats as well, perhaps an experience that Professor Toaff also shared.
If Israel is innocent of organ plundering accusations, or if its culpability is considerably less than Bostrom and others suggest, it should welcome honest investigations that would clear it of wrongdoing. Instead, the government and its advocates are working to suppress all debate and crush those whose questions and conclusions they find threatening.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, rather than responding to calls for an investigation, is demanding that the Swedish government abandon its commitment to a free press and condemn the article. The Israeli press office, apparently in retaliation and to prevent additional investigation, is refusing to give press credentials to reporters from the offending newspaper.
Just as in the case of the rampage against Jenin, the attack on the USS liberty, the massacre of Gaza, the crushing of Rachel Corrie, the torture of American citizens, and a multitude of other examples, Israel is using its considerable, worldwide resources to interfere with the investigative process.
It is difficult to conclude that it has nothing to hide. www.counterpunch.org/weir08282009.html

O Allah, you are our support and you are our only Victor; by your order we attack; by your order we retreat and by your order we fight
O Allah, the sky is yours; the earth is yours; the sea is yours, so whatever forces they have in the sky, drop them. Destroy all their forces in earth and sink all their forces in sea
O Allah, deal with them for verily they can never disable you
O Allah, retaliate upon them, afflict them like you did to Pharaoh and his nation
O Allah afflict their country with floods, make them in need of money and food and persons
O Allah defeat them, destroy them O the All-Strong, the All-Mighty
Allahu Akbar

The elimination of three apostate soldiers and their menace to Muslims in fierce attacks at the X-Control Agio intersection
الحمدُ لله ربّ العالمين والصّلاة والسّلام على نبيّنا محمّد و على آله وصحبه أجمعين
On the 6th of Ramadhan 1430, corresponding to August 27, 2009, your brothers in the Shabaab al Mujahidiin Movement conducted a military operation - the deadliest operation of its kind this week - that focused on the X-Control Agio Intersection in the southwest section of the capital, Mogadiscu. the Mujahidiin used light and heavy weapons, and the blessed battle lasted from 5 o'clock in the morning to 7 o'clock in the morning.
These fierce attacks came as a response to the appeals of the Somali Muslim people since the apostate soldiers at this intersection plundered the monies of passerby on the streets and abused them and humiliated them. And so the Mujahidiin took them by surprise and killed 3 of the most prominent apostates and stood witness for these who are poor and weak. the Mujahidiin took their bodies and placed them on a place not far from the battlefield. They made the bodies into a trap for when the apostates tried to get their corpses. The apostates fell for it - praise be to Allah - and more of them were killed and many of them were injured. Some of them later died from the grave injuries they received. One of the Mujahidiin received mild injuries in the attack - May Allah speed his recovery. The Mujahidiin returned victorious to the warm welcome of the families of the area. Praise be to the Lord of the Universe.
It is also worth mentioning here that this attack is the third of its kind this week at the X-Control Agio Intersection. We confirm for our dear Ummah that her sons, the Lions of the al-Usra Army in Somalia will intensify their activities during the blessed month of Ramadhan. We ask Allah 'Azz Wajel to help us in doing what is beloved by Him and what pleases Him. Praise be to Allah. ...
O Allah, Revealer of the book, Disperser of the clouds, Defeater of the parties, defeat the Crusaders, and their apostate allies!
O Allah, make them and their equipment easy booty for Muslims!
O Allah, destroy them and shake them!
O Allah, You are the one who helps us and the one who assists us, with Your power we move and by Your power we fight!
Allah is Great!
But honor belongs to Allah, and thus to His Messenger, and to the Believers; but of this the hypocrites are not aware (Partial Koranic verse; Al-Munafiqun 63:8)

The Massacre of Muslim Civilians is always: 'Self-Defence' but never Terrorism
Yamin Zakaria
August 28, 2009
The Anglo-US-Israeli axis continues to market the murdering of Muslims civilians as the result of self-defence, through its media outlets. Any impartial observer seeing the carnage in Iraq, Lebanon and now in Gaza would conclude differently, because it is obvious who is being terrorised and slaughtered. Naturally, the gruesome images from Gaza have caused the ordinary masses in all parts of the world to take to the streets and protest; this is unprecedented in our recent history.
It is disgusting to see the pro-Israeli commentators having the 'chutzpah' to claim that Israel has the higher moral grounds, whilst committing mass murder in the concentration camp of Gaza. The sheer barbarism shown by Israel has full endorsement from the US and British governments. Most Israelis do not feel remorse for the killing of gentiles. In the US, you see the pro-Israeli Jews [1] are celebrating the bloodletting. I will elaborate later on the Israeli barbarism. There is also tacit approval of this carnage from the Arab regimes, deduced from their silence and inaction.
As a mark of true democracy, Israel and the US are ignoring the mass protests, and the resolution 1860 issued by the UN General Assembly that reflects the opinion of the vast majority of the world's population. The vote was unanimous, 142 in favour, 4 against and 8 abstentions. This is why the democracies have setup the Security Council, so that UN can reflect the interests of the tiny minority!
The assembly president, Nicaragua 's Miguel d'Escoto Brockmann said [2]
"The violations of international law inherent in the Gaza assault have been well documented: collective punishment; disproportionate military force; attacks on civilian targets, including homes, mosques, universities, schools."
He also pointed out the ungrateful nature of the Jewish State and said:
"It seems to me ironic that Israel, a state that more than any other owes its very existence to a (1948) General Assembly resolution, should be so disdainful of United Nations resolutions…"
There was also consensus that Israel had committed war crimes in Gaza and there were calls for further investigation. Had a fraction of this been done by a Muslim country, the US troops, not the UN troops with blue helmet would have already been sent on bombing missions.
Israel knows the world is becoming desensitised to shedding of Muslim blood, because it is easy to justify killing on a mass scale once you have demonised the population. Sounds familiar, yes the tactics used by the Nazis. The victims have learnt well from their Holocaust experience it seems! The business of marketing and exploiting holocaust continues to this day.
There is no oil in Palestine except the olive oil, which explains why the US-run organisation, the UN is paralysed. Now remember, the so-called world community of US-led coalition moved to save the 'poor' Kuwaitis from Saddam Hussein, back in 1991, as if there was moral crusade to restore justice, international law and nothing to do with oil.
The Zionists have excelled not just in killing defenceless women and children but the propaganda campaign that goes with it. They have abundant money, influence and resource at their disposal, with the added advantage of knowing the Arabs will use their oil money only to build more shopping malls to make way for Zionist companies like Starbucks and Marks and Spencer. Frequently repeating a point, regardless of is merit is effective when the quality of the audience is so poor, like the docile and illiterate masses in the US. Therefore, the Zionists are constantly propagating the following points, which the media amplifies:
a) They repeat constantly, Hamas is a terrorist organisation and not the democratically elected body. This terrorist label is given irrespective of who is actually being terrorised and slaughtered. The underlying 'logic' is Hamas made weapons delivers terror but the US-Israeli weapons do not! However, in reality it is Hamas and the Palestinians who are being terrorised and slaughtered since 1948. Hamas are considered to be terrorists defending their homes, but the Jews imported and 'settled' on stolen lands are innocent victims, what an irony.
b) In contrast, Israel is not a state terrorist or terrorist of any sort no matter how much terror and carnage it delivers. No matter how many women and children they kill. Rather, Israel is often glorified in the West as the only democracy in the Middle East despite having clear characteristics of an apartheid state. Concurrently it implies the Arabs are too uncivilised to be democratic.
c) Hamas is portrayed as the belligerent aggressor, because they launched thousands of 'deadly' missiles. Israelis have suffered negligible casualty from those homemade missiles in comparison to what is happening in Gaza. Therefore, it is far easier to repeat that thousand of missiles launched from Gaza, as it is too embarrassing to justify the killing of 1000 Palestinians for a handful of Jews. Especially from a nation, that upholds the ethos of - an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
d) As usual, the 'weak' and 'vulnerable' Israel is defending itself, as the US defended itself against the mighty Saddam Hussein armed with WMD! There is no mention of the continuation of the siege imposed over Gaza and breaking of the cease-fire back in November by Israel. History conveniently begins where Israel can be made to look like the innocent victim acting in self-defence. Commonsense dictates that the act of self-defence is repelling an advancing enemy, meaning the threat is real and active. The homemade Hamas rockets came in retaliation to the continuation of the subjugation of the Palestinians.
e) The most recent fantastic claim is Hamas is out there to kill every Jew. Here comes the business of marketing holocaust again. Israeli Jews once again faces total annihilation. Even if the Hamas statements are true, but can you blame them for saying that. Is this not the result of Israeli barbarism? Israelis should remember that the victims of Gaza would one day seek vengeance and dispense collective punishment.
The Zionist entity has shown barbarism before like in Sabra and Shatila, Qana and Jenin. In Gaza, they went a step further, and it is not just the killing of innocent civilians. In the Channel 4 interview [3], Mark Regev, the Israeli Prime Ministers spokesperson was asked why the Israeli Defence Force was preventing the Red Cross from reaching the dead and wounded civilians for three days. He was specifically asked why the starving children waiting for food by the corpses of their mothers were denied aid from Red Cross - which is not in the business of propaganda. Red Cross were eventually made to walk for one mile to get to the victims. Such behaviour is disgusting from a people who constantly wave the holocaust flag and howl of being victimised - if they have really suffered so much, they ought to behave at least like human beings and not beasts. @radicalviews.org) London, UK
Jaysh al Mujahedeen (Mujaheeds Army) news sources quoted that the fighters have targeted a convoy of American occupation intelligence services with thermal bomb in Saladin Province.
The resistance faction said in the statement: "The attack led the damage of four wheel car belonging to the American occupation intelligence services killing and wounding its crew."
Prostitution : le Maroc ainsi que les émirats du Golf sur la voie thaïlandaise ?
Prostitution : Le Maroc sur la voie thaïlandaise ? Mohamed Semlali
Toute vérité n’est toujours pas bonne à dire ni à entendre. Oui le Maroc est devenu une destination de tourisme sexuel. Il suffit de parcourir les journaux pour se rendre compte que « le plus beau pays du monde» ne manque pas de charme… charnel. Que ce soit à Marrakech, Agadir, Tanger, Casablanca ou Rabat, des réseaux s’organisent, des filières se mettent en place. Les proxénètes sévissent et tiennent de véritables maisons de rabattage au cœur des villes marocaines. La clientèle est hétéroclite : marocaine, européenne et essentiellement des riches pays du Golfe. Cette traite des «brunes» bat son plein à l’approche de l’été. Les riches citoyens du Golfe fuient des pays à la température insupportable pour se réfugier dans la chaleur des corps de jeunes filles marocaines. Le tout devant un laisser-aller des autorités qui soulève plusieurs questions. Il ne faut pas se voiler la face. Tout le monde est impliqué et la filière de la prostitution organisée est loin d’être la première préoccupation des autorités. Certes, des rafles sont parfois lancées par les forces de l’ordre, mais d’une manière sporadique. Les rabatteurs courent les rues à la recherche de nouvelles recrues. Il n’est pas rare en effet que de jeunes filles, même accompagnées de leurs mères, se fassent accoster par des entremetteuses en pleine rue. Sinon, les salons de coiffure et les centres de beauté servent généralement de lieu de «recrutement» et de «rassemblement» de la «marchandise». Des villas dans les banlieues et des appartements meublés luxueux tiennent lieu de lupanars permanents.
D’autres réseaux s’activent, eux, dans le domaine de l’export. Des filles sont acheminées par dizaines qui vers le Liban, qui vers la Jordanie, qui vers les pays du Golfe pour meubler les hôtels de passe et les cabarets de ces pays. Sur certains vols bien connus à destination du Moyen-Orient, les avions, en général remplis de drôles de spécimens, effectuent des allers-retours ponctuels et dont tout le monde sait à quel commerce ils s’adonnent.
Aujourd’hui, et au-delà des libertés individuelles de chacun et du droit de la personne de disposer de son corps, un débat doit être ouvert sur le sujet. Parce qu’il ne s’agit plus de cas isolés, mais d’un phénomène qui prend de l’ampleur et qui touche beaucoup de familles marocaines. La prostitution au Maroc est en train de quitter la sphère privée et un aspect jusque-là artisanal pour s’industrialiser petit à petit. Des quartiers entiers sont désormais connus pour abriter des immeubles dédiés à la vente du «plaisir». Des commerces (cafés, hôtels et centres de beauté) ne vivent que de cette industrie.
Trois défis majeurs s’imposent aujourd’hui aux autorités. D’abord, cette prostitution qui dégénère de plus en plus en réseau criminel allant du trafic de drogue à la violence et au racket. Ensuite, la propagation de la prostitution dans plusieurs quartiers des villes marocaines rend difficile tout suivi sanitaire et met en péril la santé des citoyens. Enfin, l’image du pays à l’international qui souffre d’une «thaïlandisation» de plus en plus accrue.
Traite de blanches au cœur de Rabat
Hakim Arif
Elle n’en revient pas. Ihssan l’a échappé belle. En quittant ce jeudi, à midi, cette villa au beau milieu du quartier Hay Ryad, l’un des lieux les plus huppés de la capitale du royaume, elle croît renaître. Elle vient de vivre une nuit inoubliable, au vrai mauvais sens du terme. Tout commence un jour auparavant. Ihssan, qui se fait entretenir par un vieux Saoudien, fait ses emplettes dans une grande surface de Rabat. Quand elle se fait accoster par un jeune homme étranger, à l’accent moyen-oriental, elle détourne les yeux. Ihssan s’est rangée du milieu il y a plusieurs mois déjà. Elle avait rencontré, lors de ces soirées organisées à Harhoura, Abou Mohammed, un riche dignitaire saoudien qui tombe fou amoureux d’elle. La relation entre les deux ne dépasse pas quelques rencontres dans les parkings des grandes surfaces. Abou Mohammed est marié, deux fois plutôt qu’une. Au bout de quelques semaines, il la demande en mariage. Pas d’acte adoulaire ni aucun autre papier. Juste une fatiha lue devant sa mère et ses amies, et le tour est joué. Ihssan accepte ce mariage bizarre. Elle sait que c’est la porte vers une «légalisation» et donc vers la respectabilité et l’aisance. Elle est prête à s’armer de patience, d’autant plus que L’haj Abou Mohammed se montre convaincant en arguments sonnants et trébuchants.
Alors, quand le jeune homme d’origine moyen-orientale se fait pressant, cela l’agace dans un premier temps, puis elle décide de lui parler. En fin de compte, cela lui évitera de prendre un taxi. Encouragé par le sourire de Ihssan, le jeune homme se montre plus entreprenant. Il lui paie ses achats et lui propose de la raccompagner. La belle brune se laisse faire. L’homme est galant et très respectueux. Ils conviennent de se revoir le lendemain pour prendre un café dans l’Agdal. Ils s’échangent leurs numéros de téléphone et se donnent rendez-vous pour le lendemain.
Aventure
Le mercredi en début d’après-midi, le téléphone portable d’Ihssan retentit. Le jeune homme d’hier revient à la charge. Il lui fixe rendez-vous devant une cafétéria réputée de la capitale. Il arrive dans une berline allemande aux vitres teintées. Le chauffeur est cravaté et le jeune homme se tient derrière. Il demande à Ihssan de monter avec lui pour aller se joindre à quelques amis émiratis qui prennent un verre dans une villa de Hay Ryad. Ihssan hésite un moment. Elle n’a pas envie d’une aventure. Elle veut juste s’éclater un peu et peut-être sentir qu’elle séduit toujours… sentiment très féminin et qui parfois n’engage à rien. Elle monte dans la voiture qui se dirige vers le quartier Hay Ryad. Le jeune homme se veut rassurant… Aucun geste malintentionné, aucun empressement… Poli, mesuré, il se contente de murmurer des mots gentils et anodins. En arrivant devant la cour de cassation, le chauffeur insiste pour que Ihssan se baisse en sorte qu’elle ne soit pas visible de l’extérieur. Devant les protestations de la jeune dame, le chauffeur invoque les policiers en faction devant le tribunal. Au fait, Ihssan le comprendra après coup, cela n’est qu’un stratagème pour qu’elle ne se rappelle pas de l’itinéraire vers la villa dont elle sera l’invitée «forcée» pendant une bonne partie de la nuit et de la matinée.
Le luxe trompeur
La berline allemande franchit rapidement le lourd portail en fer. Ihssan est prise d’un malaise quand elle aperçoit dans le jardin de la villa des gaillards costauds tenant en laisse d’énormes chiens. Leurs mines patibulaires n’auguraient rien de bon. Elle se retourne vers son supposé hôte qui avait le regard absent. Elle descend de la voiture et pénètre à reculons dans l’enceinte de la villa. Et là, le spectacle est terrible : une quarantaine de jeunes filles à peine habillées sont en proie à une vingtaine d’hommes originaires des pays du Golfe, dont la plupart sont d’un certain âge. A peine esquissait-elle un pas de repli qu’une main ferme lui arrache violemment son sac, le fouille et lui demande de se délester de son téléphone portable. Ihssan se débat et crie… Une gifle claque sur sa joue… Ses larmes fusent… La gorge nouée, elle cherche désespérément son hôte des yeux… Le jeune homme détourne son regard et la laisse en proie aux «gardes du corps» imposants. On lui fait comprendre qu’il faut être gentille et surtout docile. Une femme, plus tenancière que femme de ménage, la prend de côté et lui assène sur un ton menaçant : «Ferme ta gueule pétasse et enlève tes chaussures à talons. A côté, c’est la maison d’une des ministres. Il ne faut pas faire de grabuge». Ihssan la supplie de lui rendre son téléphone portable. Pas question. Les filles pourraient téléphoner ou bien filmer des scènes insoutenables.
Quand Ihssan se calme et s’assoit dans un coin, elle reprend ses esprits. Elle commence à scruter les lieux. Les filles éparpillées dans les salons se maquillent et s’habillent. Les hommes en fouqiya s’amusent hilares. Ils palpent le corps des jeunes filles qui s’y prêtent. Ihssan qui voulait juste boire un café avec son hôte se sent piégée. Elle tente encore une fois de partir… Elle hausse le ton et insulte le jeune homme émirati qui l’a conviée. Une des filles, apparemment habituée de la villa, se rapproche d’elle et lui demande de se taire : «la dernière fois, une des filles voulait partir avant la fin de la soirée, les gardiens l’ont prise dans une chambre et l’ont rossée de coups», lui raconte-t-elle. Ihssan comprend qu’elle est kidnappée…Une zone de non droit, non loin des principales administrations et des maisons des grands responsables du pays. Elle ne peut rien faire et le sentiment de hogra la fait pleurer.
Vers le coup de 22 heures, une dame âgée mais distinguée arrive à la villa. Les filles semblent toutes la connaître. Les gardiens la respectent. Elle donne des ordres et embarque une dizaine de filles pour une autre soirée. Madame A, c’est comme ça que les filles et les gardiens l’appellent, est une sorte de madame Claude à la sauce marocaine. Quand elle s’en va, on ordonne aux filles de descendre à la «boîte de nuit». L’énorme cave de la villa est aménagée en gigantesque dancing. Tout y est. Mûrs insonorisés, jeux de lumières et DJ. Un grand bar sert gracieusement tous types d'alcool. Les filles boivent pour se mettre dans l’ambiance et les hommes avalent verre sur verre pour pouvoir consommer «la chair fraîche marocaine».
Au petit matin, les hommes choisissent celles des filles qui les accompagneront dans les chambres pour l’acte final. C’est le grand souk et la «chairmarocaine» attend preneur. L’humiliation est suprême. Les refoulées, dont Ihssan, se contenteront d’une ikramiya de 500 dirhams et dormiront seules dans les salons. Elles devront donner au chauffeur 100 dirhams pour les raccompagner vers l’air libre. Celles qui ont eu le «privilège» d’être consommées auront 1000 dirhams amputés de 100 dirhams pour la bonne et 200 pour le chauffeur-entremetteur.
En quittant la villa, la tête baissée, le lendemain à midi, Ihssan vient de quitter un lieu où règnent le non droit, la débauche et la force brutale. Elle n’osait pas imaginer qu’à quelques mètres de là, le Maroc des droits de l’homme, de la sécurité et des institutions efficientes puisse exister.
Chair à bordel
SABEL DA COSTA
Les jours de trois Marocaines sont comptés dans une prison de Téhéran où elles ont été condamnées à mort. L’information est parue dans la presse il y a tout juste une semaine mais ne semble susciter aucun remou. Une erreur de parcours tout au plus… Ce n’est pas en Iran qu’elles auraient dû finir mais à Dubaï. Elles font partie de ces jeunes «artistes» et «employées d’hôtel» reconverties en professionnelles du sexe. Un topo clair comme de l’eau de roche et qui finit très souvent en queue de poisson. Toutes ces filles disposent de garants ou passeurs qui les prennent paraît-il en charge une fois sur place, s’occupent de leurs papiers et leurs trouvent des clients fortunés. Les trois jeunes filles ont ainsi atterri sur l’île de Kich (une île iranienne) le temps pour leur garant de renouveler leurs visas. Manque de pot comme on dit, c’est avec la police qu’elles avaient rendez-vous. Ayant déjà eu affaire aux forces de l’ordre pour prostitution, elles ont écopécette fois ci de la peine capitale (la loi est formelle pour les récidivistes) et devront être pendues dans quelques jours. Des officiels marocains ont été dépêchés sur place afin de négocier leur libération, seulement vu le contexte diplomatique actuel, prêcher dans le désert serait peut-être plus fructueux ! Séduites par le faste et l’argent facile, de plus en plus de jeunes marocaines s’embarquent pour les Emirats afin d’y exercer le plus vieux métier du monde… En tant que musulmanes elles seraient paraît-il beaucoup plus prisées que les Asiatiques et autres Slaves. Les sanctions édictées par la législation schizo-émirienne ne les dissuadent hélas pas plus que cela. Difficile de suivre leurs traces car une fois à bon port nos artistes ne se précipitent pas vraiment sur leurs services consulaires. Discrétion oblige !
Quitte ou double
A 27 ans, Merième a échappé au pire. Lorsqu’une de ses amies lui présenta en décembre dernier le chargé de recrutement d’un centre de remise en forme situé aux Emirats, cette jeune monitrice de sport pensait être tombée sur un plan clean et très bien rémunéré. Vite fait bien fait, elle se voit proposer un contrat en béton pour donner des cours d’aérobic et de danse dans le centre en question. «Il m’avait proposé un salaire net de 10000Dh et la prise en charge de tous mes besoins une fois sur place, le calcul est vite fait. Pas de loyer, ni de nourriture à payer, j’allais pouvoir réaliser des économies et aider ma famille avec tout cet argent. Ce qui acheva de me décider c’est que mes frais de voyage allaient également être pris en charge. Tout était a priori réglo». Lorsqu’elle arriva sur place, tout semblait normal hormis le fait que son employeur lui retira son passeport prétextant des formalités administratives. «J’ai obtempéré. Lorsque j’ai voulu le récupéré une semaine après, on m’a répondu que ce n’était pas possible pour le moment. J’ai passé mes premières journées à donner quelques cours de fitness et de danse orientale, le soir je rentrais dans un appartement que je partageais avec 7 autres Marocaines, des monitrices que je ne voyais pas beaucoup dans la salle... Un jour j’ai été demandée par la femme du propriétaire. Celle-ci avait entendu dire que mes cours de danse orientale étaient très appréciés des clientes et voulait que je lui fasse une démonstration. Je me suis exécutée de bon cœur à la suite de quoi elle me proposa de venir animer à plein temps les soirées privées qu’elle organisait fréquemment. Elle en parlait comme d’une banalité, des fêtes pour ses amis tout au plus… Je n’étais pas du tout convaincue, elle m’invita donc à passer chez elle vers 23 h ce soir là pour mieux comprendre le sens de son offre et la chance qu’elle me donnait de gagner cette fois l’équivalent de 30000 DH par mois. J’arrivais donc comme convenu chez mes employeurs, un peu angoissée mais n’ayant pas vraiment le choix. Ce que j’y vis n’avait rien à voir avec une fête entre amis, loin de là… Je reconnus certaines de mes collocatrices dansant sur des tables vêtues de tenues osées, d’autres étaient en train de réaliser des strip teases. Pour l’heure je ne devais rien faire hormis regarder et apprendre. J’ai vu des choses obscènes se dérouler sous mes yeux. Je n’étais pas préparée à ça. Bien sûr je me doutais bien que ces soirées privées n’étaient pas des concours de poésie, mais tout de même pas à ce point là. Je commençais à comprendre pourquoi mes collègues travaillaient si peu dans la journée. Je ne voulais absolument pas tremper dans cette sauce, pour moi ce serait juste mes séances d’aérobic à 10000 DH le mois avec une conscience tranquille. Quand j’ai expliqué la chose à l’épouse du patron, j’ai senti qu’elle était mécontente mais n’a rien laissé transparaître. Seulement, à partir de là, tout le monde s’est donné le mot pour me rendre la vie difficile. Mes affaires disparaissaient, mes supérieurs me parlaient de plus en plus mal, les filles avec qui je vivais me cherchaient sans arrêt des problèmes. Pour qui je me prenais pour refuser de faire comme tout le monde ? Je commençais à prêter plus attention à leur mode de vie, j’avais quelques soupçons au début, qui se sont avérés par la suite. Bon nombre d’entre elles se droguaient, un vice qui leur avait été inculqué par celui qui m’avait emmenée ici. Complètement dépendantes, elles se prêtaient plus facilement au jeu, surtout si cela pouvait leur garantir quelques doses supplémentaires. Les prestations ne se limitaient pas à danser, chacune d’elles avait des clients réguliers (les invités et amis des propriétaires) chez qui elles devaient se rendre en dehors des soirées. Je voulais quitter Dubaï, mais j’étais liée par un contrat et toute brèche dans l’engagement m’exposait à des poursuites judiciaires. J’étais à mon premier mois et mes employeurs avaient commencé à me mettre la pression. Mes parents ne savaient rien de ce qui se passait. Je n’osais pas aller vers les autorités. Comme je n’avais aucune preuve, c’était ma parole contre celles des patrons qui, eux, en revanche disposaient d’un contrat en bonne et due forme. Ils pouvaient raconter ce qu’ils voulaient sur moi à la police... J’ai fini par mettre ma sœur dans la confidence, elle seule pouvait m’aider à sortir de là. Pour rompre mon contrat il fallait une raison valable. Je résolus de me faire passer pour malade au moyen d’un certificat médical portant une ancienne date et signé d’un praticien marocain. Ma sœur essaya auprès de plusieurs médecins de Rabat, mais en vain. Dès quel leur soumettait le cas, ils se rétractaient craignant l’embrouille. Elle a tout de même fini par dénicher la perle rare et m’envoyer le fameux papier. Je l’ai présenté au manager. Ils devaient bien se résoudre à me laisser partir puisque la lettre attestait que j’étais épileptique et que je risquais de convulser à n’importe qu’elle moment. Personne n’y croyait mais me demander une contre expertise était trop risqué pour eux. On m’a rendu mon passeport et j’ai pu payer le billet de retour avec mon salaire. Jusqu’à cette minute mes parents ne savent pas pourquoi je suis revenue aussi vite. J’ai prétexté le mal du pays et ils ont marché. A aucun moment je n’ai pensé que travailler là-bas aurait pu m’entraîner dans les bas-fonds de la prostitution, certaines ont moins de chance, d’autres encore savent très bien ce qu’elles vont chercher aux Emirats et reviennent tout sourire chez elles, en faisant miroiter monts et merveilles. C’est tout un monde, mais c’est surtout le commencement de l’enfer». Aujourd’hui Merième exerce dans une petite salle à Rabat. Elle essaie de se reconstruire et garde ses souvenirs pour elle. «Les gens seraient pressés de se faire des idées à mon sujet, alors que Dieu seul sait que j’y suis allée de bonne foi». Que penser réellement… ?
ISRAEL’S DEMONISATION OF SWEDEN (Freedom of The Press, Israel)
Netanyahu’s Swedish theatre and the reality of the occupation By Adam Keller
For days the Israeli political establishment and mainstream media engaged in an unrestrained campaign of demonization of Sweden. Only after having already castigated Swedes as “antisemites” did mass circulation newspaper Yediot Aharonot take the elementary journalistic step of sending a reporter to check the facts. Ronny Shaked’s Aug. 24 article revealed no organ harvesting horror – but showed quite clearly how such a story could emerge from the grim occupation reality.
It is an old story, going back seventeen years, the story of a young man named Bilal Ahmad Ghanem from the small West Bank village of Amatin. Ghanem was one of those which official Israel castigates as terrorists and their own people praise as freedom fighters. In the early 1990’s he figured on the Israeli “wanted” list.
In May 1992 Israel was in the midst of a crucial elections campaign. Opposition leader Yitzchak Rabin was asking for the voters’ mandate on a pledge to make peace with the Palestinians – a pledge he would eventually seriously try to implement and for which he would pay with his own life three and a half years later. All of that was part of a future, which Bilal Ahmad Ghanem would not live to see. On the night of May 13, 1992, Israeli hunters ambushed him outside his parents’ home, and killed him on the spot with a bullet directly to the heart. This in itself excludes the possibility that Ghanem’s organs were used for transplantation. It is an elementary medical fact that organs are taken from brain-dead patients whose heart is still beating.
There was not, and could not have been, a “harvesting of organs”. But it is true that Ghanem’s body was taken away, restored to the family only after a week, in which it evidently was subjected to an autopsy, to which the family did not consent nor was asked for consent. (In Israel itself, an autopsy is only performed with the consent of the family or by court order, but such rules do not apply in military-ruled territory). When at last the body was given back, the family was shocked to see a scar running from his neck down to his abdomen. They were not given much time to speculate, and nobody was there to answer questions. Soldiers on the spot urged them to get on with the funeral and disperse to their homes. A Swedish journalist made some photos of Ghanem’s scarred body – arousing the ire of the soldiers, who promptly confiscated his camera. But he had managed to extract the film and throw it among the bushes. On the following day he returned, recovered the photos and recorded the angry and pained reactions of Ghanem’s mother, who could not be expected to know or care about medical facts and the conditions where organ transplanting is or is not possible.
The photos and report were published in 1992 Sweden, without getting much attention. They were included as one of many items in an 2001 book on the situation in the Occupied Territories, to whose publication the Government of Sweden apparently contributed though it was unlikely to have closely and minutely supervised its contents. Again, not many people noticed or paid attention. And now it has surfaced again and became – seventeen years after the fact – the center of a raging storm.
Why resurrect this affair at exactly this time? Possibly because the mass killing of civilians in the recent Gaza war, which is an undoubted fact, has made also implausible Israeli atrocities seem plausible. But even so, a newspaper should have carefully checked its facts, and any doctor could have told them that this particular accusation could not be true. There had been a month ago an ugly case of illicit trade in organs for transplantation, in which the American citizens implicated happened to be Jewish. But linking this affair with the misconduct of the armed forces of Israel was an ugly and unacceptable analogy which the editors of “Aftonbladet” should have avoided. Still, there was no need for the Netanyahu Government to blow it up to a head-on confrontation between the two countries. Indeed, the leaders of the Jewish community in Sweden were far from pleased with the Israeli overreaction. But the Israeli government did not act out of concern for them. It had its own specific agenda for making the maximum noise.
Almost from the first day he assumed power, Netanyahu is under constant pressure from President Barack Obama to cease all settlement activity in the occupied territories. The fanatic hardliners in his cabinet call for Israel to defy all pressures, continue and extend the building of Jewish settlements and tell the Americans to go to hell. Deep in his heart Netanyahu might sympathize – but he knows well enough that such a course would be suicidal, and that it would be Israel which would get to hell in short order. Sweden is a convenient alternative target, which could be attacked with relative impunity. Moreover, Sweden – having the Presidency of European Union – has itself quite recently lodged a strong protest about the settlements and the expulsion of Palestinian families from their homes is the Sheikh Jarah Neighbourhood in East Jerusalem. It makes perfect sense for Netanyahu to try and put the Swedish government on the defensive.
The row also helps to divert the criticism on Netanyahu from inside his government coalition. Israel’s historically-loaden ambivalent relation to Europe is a Pandora box easily opened.
On the one hand, Israelis like to think of themselves as belonging to Europe; on the other hand when encountering criticism, wild accusations of antisemitism immediately fly around and the history of the Second World War and the Holocaust is very selectively referenced.
Israelis are delighted that their country was admitted to the European Song Festival and that their football and basketball teams can participate in European championships. But the same people would not opt for Israel becoming subject to the authority of the European Human Rights Court in Strasbourg, and to have that court give the actions of the Israeli armed forces the kind of scrutiny it gave to the British army in North Ireland.
In today’s Europe it is taken for granted that a democratic state is, by definition, “The State of All Its Citizens”. The Israeli mainstream would like Israel to be accepted as a European State while rejecting any such definition and insisting that “A State of All Its Citizens” is a subversive and extremist idea where Israel is concerned.
The present confrontation with Sweden is the latest – and probably not the last – of such cases.

Hakims death highlights Nasrallah's contradictions: sectarian solidarity prevails and hypocrisy abounds
BY RAID KHOURY
August 27, 2009
Will Sayid Hassan Nasrallah please explain the difference to the Arab public between the SLA and the Badr Brigades or Samir GeaGea and Abd al-Aziz al-Hakim? Both of them represent narrow, sectarian interests and share a common racism and animosity towards Arabs and Arab Nationalism. Both of them lead fascistic, sectarian militias that committed some of the worst atrocities the Arab world has ever seen. GeaGea's Lebanese Forces militia specialized in the slaughter of innocent Lebanese and Palestinian civilians and introduced us to "identity card killings."
Following in the path of "identity card killings", Hakim's Badr Organization brought us the new method of killing and torture by drilling holes in the heads of Sunni Muslims in its campaign to cleanse Baghdad, the Arab world's most diverse, tolerant, and cosmopolitan city of "Muawiyah's Grandchildren." Both groups looked to foreign powers for their financing, arming, training, and inspiration. For the Lebanese Forces it was Begin and Sharon's Israel and for the Badr Militia it was Khomeini's Iran.
When the Israeli army invaded Lebanon in 1982 it was the LF who accompanied them as well trained boy scouts leading the way to Beirut, and when the Iraq-Iran war was raging it was the Badr Militia that fought alongside the Iranian army in the hopes of toppling the progressive, Arab Nationalist regime (the Sunni, Baath, Infidel regime in Hakim's parlance), and handing the country over to Khomeini in an attempt to expand the dominion of Wilayit Al-Faqih into Iraq. In 1991 during the so called "Shia uprising" when Iraqi troops were withdrawing from the Kuwaiti province, an incursion by Iranian revolutionary guards into Iraq was assisted by the collaborating Badr brigades.
Hakim and his Iranian sponsors failed twice, but their hopes and dreams were rekindled with the arrival of the "Great Satan's" army into Baghdad in 2003. His Badr militia was quickly dispatched by the Iranians and set up shop in the Green Zone. It was in the basement of the defense ministry where much of the torture and drilling took place under the protection of the US occupation army. As the Badr death squads were busy changing the demographics of Baghdad by butchering Muawiyah's hated grandchildren the political wing of Badr, the not-so-supreme non-Islamic counter-revolutionary council (since changed to the Islamic supreme council of Iraq) was laying the foundation for the dismantling of the Iraqi state, and the creation of a sectarian canton attached to an expanded Iranian-dominated "Shiastan." His attempts to formally dismantle the Iraqi state began with his appointment by the United States to the puppet Iraqi Governing Council serving as its president in December 2003.
Hakim's sectarian and backward, fundamentalist world view was well known to the highly educated and sophisticated Iraqis and as he took his place among the cast of puppets brought to power by the US occupier, he embarked upon the sectarianization of Iraqi politics, an hitherto unknown feature of the Iraqi body politic, and the Islamization of Iraqi society along the lines of Khomeini's Iran. Hakim, and his Badr militia, like GeaGea and LF represent the ugliest political tendencies in the Arab world, and the fascist methods they employed are indefensible. They are both responsible for some of the ugliest massacres we have witnessed in our recent history, and they both mastered the art of self-serving collaboration with a foreign power in the perceived narrow interests of their own sect. Like the right-wing sectarian fascists of Lebanon who allied themselves with the Zionist enemy and looked to France, the colonial power, as the "the tender mother", the right-wing sectarian fascists of Iraq such as Hakim have also pursued a narrow, sectarian, foreign-sponsored (Iran playing the role of "tender mother") agenda that will inevitably fail in Iraq as it did in Lebanon.
In the final analysis, it is only a secular, non-sectarian, anti-colonial, Arab Nationalist program of resistance that can unify the region and ensure the liberation and security of Lebanon, Iraq, and Palestine while preserving the rights and interests of all Arabs regardless of sectarian affiliations.
Censored31 said: "It's only an Islamic program of resistance that can unify the region and ensure the security."
In the meantime, the leaders and proponents of all sectarian movements will continue to find themselves, as in the case of Nasrallah's praise for Hakim, bound by inevitable and glaring contradictions from which they cannot break free without rising above their own self-defeating sectarianism.
Sayid Hassan Nasrallah has squandered his popularity in the Arab world and lost much credibility as a result of his stance in Iraq in the past 6 years. And now as he eulogizes Hakim whom he refers to as an "older brother", and describes his murderous and treasonous history as a "struggle" to "uplift" and "rescue" the Iraqi people, Nasrallah has, once again, fallen into the trap of sectarian solidarity. How else can any objective observer who supported both the Arab resistance to Israeli occupation in Lebanon and US occupation of Iraq explain the contradictory positions of Nasrallah on the occupations of Lebanon and Iraq? What is the difference between the South Lebanese Army and the Badr Brigades? And what is the difference between the traitors and collaborators in Lebanon and their counterparts in Iraq?
Is their a link between Walid Karzai and Marshal Mohammad Qasim Fahim ?
Afghanistan’s next likely Vice President linked to Drug trafficking
ChattahBox
Marshal Mohammad Qasim Fahim
August 29, 2009
(ChattahBox)— Afghanistan’s President Hamid Karzai is leading so far, in the partial results from his reelection bid and despite claims of election fraud, there is a good chance he will serve another term as president. And that’s what worries the United States, because Karzai’s running mate, former defense minister, Marshal Mohammad Qasim Fahim, is heavily linked to drug trafficking and the lucrative poppy trade in Afghanistan.
According to a piece in the New York Times, Karzai has garnered the support of a group of notorious warlords in his reelection campaign:
"[W]arlords suspected of war crimes, corruption and trafficking in the country’s lucrative poppy crop. But none is as influential as Marshal Fahim, his running mate, whose trajectory in and out of power, and American favor, says much about the struggle the United States has had in dealing with corruption in Afghanistan."
The Bush administration worked closely with corrupt warlords to drive the Taliban from Afghanistan. Marshal Fahim, then a general, played a pivotal role in the overthrow of the Taliban in 2001, working closely with the C.I.A. In fact, the C.I.A. paid Marshal Fahim millions of dollars in cash for his efforts.
The relationship started to sour in 2002, when C.I.A. reports linked Marshal Fahim to brazen drug trafficking, even during his stint as defense minister for the struggling country. The C.I.A. reports said that Marshal Fahim and his aides regularly made drug runs to Russian in a Soviet-made cargo plane, transporting heroin and returning with a planeload of cash.
The C.I.A. report posed a big problem for the Bush administration, because a U.S. law prohibited military aid to a known narcotics trafficker. The administration was poised to embark on an ambitious campaign to help create and train a new Afghan Army, which meant awarding millions of dollars in aid to Marshal Fahim.
In the end, the Bush administration chose to look the other way and simply ignore Marshal Fahim’s illegal drug activities. The administration came up with a "devious" plan to circumvent the law, by prohibiting U.S. officials from dealing directly with Marshal Fahim and to only deal with his subordinates. That way, the U.S. would not be breaking the law by dealing with a known drug trafficker, the Bush administration reasoned.
However, the realities on the ground were a different matter. American officials, such as Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld and Lt. Gen. Karl W. Eikenberry met regularly with Marshal Fahim.
Now, the Obama administration faces the prospect of a known drug trafficker becoming Vice President of Afghanistan. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton issued a warning to President Karzai before the election saying, that his alliance with Marshal Fahim would damage his standing with the U.S. and the international community.
The United States would be involved in some tricky political maneuvering if Karzai and Marshal Fahim do indeed take office, as expected. The U.S. may refuse to grant a travel visa to Marshal Fahim or perhaps investigate his finances, but whatever action is taken it would be fraught with political repercussions.
All trace minerals, metals, inorganic materials, proteins and amino acids are held in suspension in liquids as microscopic and sub microscopic particles like dust particles in the air. These very small particles are called colloids.
Since colloids in suspension form chemical compounds like ions in solution, the non-chemical , electrical properties of colloids are generally not understood in medicine. Allopathic (Western) medicine ignores the electrical and biomechanical forces that factor into health and wellness.
Chemicals (drugs and vaccines) are the mainstay of the Medical Doctor's arsenal. No chemical approaches to health and wellness are neither pursued nor advocated. Since electrical and biomechanical factors in human health cannot be sold in a bottle by prescription, these facets of human health are neither discussed, taught, nor readily understood. Is is for this reason we are unable to "cure" most chronic ailments let alone know how varied diseases and disorders are caused and maintained - in basic physiology.
The bottom line is this: When blood flow is impaired, even at the microscpoic level, health and wellness cannot be maintained. Healing of damaged tissues cannot occur. Functions of cells and tissues will be impaired. Recovery from any tissue damages, brain and body, will not occur.
Coagulation and flocculation (aka: agglomeration, sedimentation, sludging..) forms the basis of much human disease, disorder, chronic ailments, death, pain and suffering in response to a variety of triggers - including repeat vaccinations.
The chemistry of coagulation and flocculation is primarily based on electricity. Electricity is the behavior of negative and positively charged particles due to their attraction and repulsion. Like charges (two negatively charged particles or two positively charged particles) repel each other while opposite charges (a positively charged particle and a negatively charged particle) attract (figure 1-A).
wwww.BrainGuardMD.com M.A.S.S. FLO2 LIFE™ has been formulated to instil greater negative charge in body fluids in order to enhance separation of colloids thereby keeping suspended particles separated from one another. Without adequate colloidal separation, proper flow dynamics will not be possible in microcirculation (i.e. you cannot squeeze golf balls through straws).
Most particles dissolved in water have a negative charge, so they tend to repel each other. As a result, they stay dispersed and dissolved or colloidal in the water, as shown above Fig. 1-A). The purpose of most coagulant chemicals (like Aum and Alumnum; AL+3) is to neutralize the negative charges on the turbidity (suspended) particles to prevent those particles from repelling each other. The amount of coagulant which should be added to the water will depend on the MASS electrostatic charge, a measurement of the magnitude of electrical charge surrounding the colloidal particles. You can think of the MASS potential as the amount of repulsive force which keeps the particles in the water. If the MASS potential is large, then more coagulants will be needed. Coagulants tend to be positively charged. Due to their positive charge, they are attracted to the negative particles in the water (Figure 1-B). Your body is 75% water by weight. The blood is 95% water. The weight, the human brain is 75% water. By molecule count, the human brain is approximately 99% water. The individual molecules are light, however there are many of them. When was the last time your Doctor discussed water with you when you were sick? Curiously, since we are mostly water by composition, one would think that water and its dynamics would be a mainstay of the "healing" arts arsenal to effect health and wellness. You should ask yourself (and your Doctor) why they never talk about water of fluid dynamics, what they know about water, and how water plays a role in death, disease, and life. Remarkably, if it cannot be prescribed, then it is unlikely to be talked about let alone understood. Perhaps it is time to learn.
The combination of positive and negative charge results in a neutral, or lack, of charge. As a result, colloidal particles no longer repel each other (Fig. 1-C). The next force which will affect colloidal particles in suspension is known as van der Waal's forces. Van der Waal's forces refer to the tendency of particles in nature to attract each other weakly if they have no charge (Fig. 1-D). Once suspended particles in water are not repelling each other, van der Waal's forces make the particles drift toward each other and join together into a group. When enough particles have joined together, they become floc and will settle out of the water. When this occurs in the body, even at the microscopic level, blood flow will be impaired. This "sludging" process is a problem - whether induced by heavy metals, toxins, virulent infectious diseases, or repeat vaccinations.
"Sludging" from MASS Flow derailments relative to negative electrostatic charge is one of the component phases of disease and disorders - all of it. The MASS charge in fluid dynamics is the first "MASS phase" that needs to be addressed in all healing arts relative to human health and wellness in the face of virulent germs, like H1N1 or polio, or any "vaccine preventable" disease, toxin, or germ. Remarkably, for healing to occur, the same principle applies - the net negative charge must first be controlled within the fluid dynamic nature of mammalian physiology. This is step one along the MASS recovery protocol in terms of healing - for us all. Impaired flow both causes disease, disorders as well as plays a role in natural healing mechanisms in the human body. As with all facets of nature "too much of a good or bad thing...is going to be a bad thing."

God heals, and the Doctor collects the fees. The time is nigh wherein we return to the master physician in wisdom and understanding in order to enable ourselves, with knowledge, to effect the health and wellness outcomes we all seek. Without health, there is no wealth. Without light, there is darkness. Without hope, there is learned helplessness. Without understanding, there is no truth. If Faith is given blindly, we are led blindly. If we are sick, it is because we have lost Faith, lost hope, lack understanding, and are mulling about in darkness.
MASS News Letters will penetrate much darkness with the bright lights of MASS awareness, hope, faith, and understanding so that we can all find our way out of the wilderness and onto the path we were meant to follow all along. There is much to learn and understand and more paths to truth than meets the eye.
This is where we start our journey together. When you come to realize and understand that your own understandings, from birth, have been wrong, then we are all starting from the same common vantage point from these first Bright Steps Forward together. The task before us is simple: "How do I teach the concept of a raindrop to a school of fish that has spent its entire life existence at the bottom of the Ocean?" The "expert fish" deny the very existence of what they have been surrounded by since their first days of life.
Understanding, healing, health, and wellness will come, in stages, as we come together to see what has been before our eyes all along, yet veiled from our understanding, much like a fish sticking it's head out of the water for the first time to witness raindrops. There is much to learn and much hope and help to be had. Let us humble ourselves from our own understandings and learn new and better ways.

Suicide bomber lightly injures senior Saudi prince
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia –
The official Saudi news agency says a wanted militant has blown himself up in an apparent assassination attempt against one of the senior princes involved in the kingdom's aggressive terror campaign against devoted Muslims. The Saudi Press Agency says the man was being searched by security before going in to offer Ramadan greetings to the assistant interior minister, Prince Muhammad bin Nayef, when he blew himself up late Thursday. It says the prince was lightly wounded. The Interior Ministry has spearheaded the kingdom's aggressive campaign against so called terrorists, with authorities jailing hundreds of suspected militants since Sept. 11, 2001 which was an inside job according to infowarriors.
